This is more of a split between techniques for programming-in-the-small vs. programming-in-the-large. All languages have this. You could write more or less the same list for Swift or Java with minimal changes. Again, do you have any actual

> The problem with Scala is not that it has all the features of Swift, it's that it has way more. Please have a serious look at Swift. I don't think this claim stands up to any kind of scrutiny. Swift is more like C++ than anyt

Even if it did, it wouldn't matter, because people would vote those politicians that tried this shit and their party out of office.

Even government budgets have to adhere to some standardized schemes of reporting. See also rating firms. Otherwise even the US would have a balanced budget and no debts. (Ignoring the fact that the US is the main force behind trying to chan

Given the size of the deposits, and the ROIs of available low-risk investments, does the difference really matter? Skip a single CappuFrappeGingerPumpkinLatte (or what people buy in cafes in SF) and you just got more money than any investme

Consider two functions (excuse my Scala): scala> val str: Function[String, String] = s => if (s.length > 3) s else null str: java.util.function.Function[String,String] = $$Lambda$1369/859456754@2c668c2a scala> val

Yawn. Java is the platform with NPEs and null checks everywhere. If that's your definition of practical, sure, go ahead.

In Germany: - Rent increase limits - Larger changes need landlord's approval (changing walls and stuff). A lot of smaller stuff can be done on your own and doesn't require asking the landlords. (Many landlords are happy if you wan

Which includes leased company cars. So yes, people don't finance their cars.

No. Java messing things up as usual, doesn't have any broader impact on the usefulness of the concept. Error handling with null is wrong and broken, regardless of whether the null is "typed" or not. null might have some very

Yep. "Don't buy things if you can't pay for then." sounds reasonable, but some other countries seem to disagree. Not surprised that those countries suffer from government shutdowns over how much the debt ceiling is raise

That's an extremely weak argument. Java's Optional is broken and should never be used.

Or you use Scala and Scala.js and just get things done.

Did you even bother to read the article before commenting? There is nothing a client can do when the server is compromised.

I stopped taking this seriously after "the documentation is really good". Not sure whether this is your real opinion or you are just making fun of people who say that.

Is there anything this adds over Scala-native, which seems to be much further ahead already?
54.
by premium-concern 10y ago
Scala has value types, and on native all the current restrictions from the JVM are dropped. Additionally, you can also explicitly allocate things on the stack. You can also allocate continuous memory.

The amount of code bloat is offset by optimizing a medium-sized picture.

You don't need Autowite for that. That's pretty much basic functionality of Scala.js.

by premium-concern 10y ago
That's kind of nonsense. Kotlin adds some syntax sugar to Java, but it's not related to Scala in any reasonable way.

by premium-concern 10y ago
The difference is that Scala is a vastly better, designed language. It's not something like Typescript which tries to salvage JavaScript without being able to fix the worst parts. Scala also has much better, more mature tooling and IDE

Not sure what you are talking about regarding SBT. SBT does incremental builds, it's one of the few that even do this interactively. It is also built on parallel-by-default execution: The task engine runs everything that can be compute
